Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The accessory nerve (cranial nerve XI) controls the movement of the shoulder and turning movement of the head by supplying muscles such as the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid.

Answer: J) Hypoglossal 
 The hypoglossal nerve (cranial nerve XII) controls the movement of the tongue, including swallowing and speech, but does not have a direct role in shoulder or head movement.
